SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENCY UNION NO. 42 Report of the Secretary
The annual meeting of the School Superintendency Union No. 42 Committee was held at the Peirceville School in Rochester on the evening of April 12, 1949. The committee elected the following officers for the ensuing year:
Chairman, John Carter, Carver
Secretary, Doris E. Dunklee, Carver
The semi-annual meeting was held at the Center School in Carver on November 4, 1949.
During the year the Union office in Middleboro was moved from the Sullivan Building to a larger, more ade- quate room in the Peirce Building. A telephone has been installed in the office so that teachers, school committee- men and anyone else interested can get in touch with the central office without delay.
The committee felt that additional time was needed by the School Nurse to carry on a more rounded health program and so hired Mrs. Baker to work as school nurse on a five-day full time basis, starting November 1, 1949.
The Town of Lakeville has taken the lead in the build- ing program and a modern addition to the Assawompset School is now being constructed. The Towns of Carver and Rochester are still considering plans for new schools to make room for the steady increase of pupils and to replace obsolete schools now being used. Mr. Austin has given tirelessly of his time to help the towns in their building programs.
The committee has been kept informed by Mr. Austin of the laws dealing with education passed by the State Legislature so that we could conform with these laws as soon as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
DORIS E. DUNKLEE, Secretary
